REAL TO DIVIDE CITY DISTRICT FARM LANDS TOPIC OF REALTORS Regional Conference of C. R. E. A. at Riverside Next Saturday Special consideration will be given to Farm Lands at the Regional Conference called by the California Real Estate association to be held at the Mission Inn, Riveraide, Dec. 15. S. C. Hartranft of Fullerton vicinity will be one of the speakers. "Farm Land Agents, as well as city brokers, who attend the conference, will receive valuable information from prominent speakers concerning conditions low developing from which farm lands will benefit," says Herman Janas, secretary of the Farm Lands Division of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. Reports PAVING POLICY HERE OUTLINED Anaheim has never entered into the well-worn controversy about asphalt vs. concrete paving, but the city has a policy which City Manager O. E. Steward, without presuming to discuss the program of the city fathers, outlined this way: On the city's streets, asphalt-concrete now is used practically exclusively; on the alleys, concrete only. Asphalt-concrete has been found to be more durable than sheet asphalt or asphalt minus the stone. Its smoothness is preserved more easily. As against the old-fashioned ordinary asphalt, the base of which is sand, the city, like the county, is preferring the new composition. Neither has the glare of concrete. In the alleys, however, concrete is preferable, because it remains smooth and does not catch water after a rain; is not injured by oil; and in the absence of a convenient grade, can be constructed with a slight groove down the middle of the thorofare, which makes the 'alley' easy to drain. RENTAL PROPERTY HERE IS GROWING "We are pleased to note," comments C. C. Sidnam of the Sidnam Realty Company. ANAHEIMER. HAS NEW SUBDIVISION Commonwealth Homesites, new subdivision, consisting eight acres, or 50 lots, will put on the market shortly by Harry Scott, local realtor. Tots lie three or four miles off on West Commonwealth avenue. Price restrictions on buildings will be moderate, although small houses will be permitted in the front parts of lots. LITTLE BUSINESS BEFORE COUNCIL L. P. Drake acted as chairman of Fullerton trustees last night in the absence of W. C. Coultz mayor, who had left for San Francisco. There was little business brot before the board. A 60-day extension for the completion of paving on the west side was granted the Los Angeles Parking Co. A communication was received from Cora Hale who had been recent patient at the Fullerton hospital, protecting against many heavy trucks going by to Pomona-ave side of the building. There was nothing the trustee could do. W. A. Moore suggests it would be easier to move hospital than to move the street. A petition was received from C. C. McPhail asking permission to install a service station at Mauolia and West Commonweal avews was granted. California Real Estate association to be held at the Mission Inn, Riverside, Dec. 15. S. C. Hartranft of Fullerton vicinity will be one of the speakers. "Farm Land Agents, as well as city brokers, who attend the conference, will receive valuable information from prominent speakers concerning conditions low developing from which farm lands will benefit" says Herman Janss, secretary of the Farm Lands Division of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. Reports coming to headquarters of the association continue to show a marked improvement in the agricultural situation in nearly all parts of the country. The great advance in the price of cotton is making the South prosperous and is also bringing good times to the Salt River and Yuma Valleys in Arizona and in our Imperial Valley and will result in a large increase in cotton acreage in San Joaquin Valley Mr. Janss says. The influence of the Riverside conference will be statewide, California now lends the country in scientific work in agriculture and horticulture and in co-operative marketing. Real estate men all over the state are interested vitally in the success of the farmer. It is expected that new plans will be advocated at Riverside to properly place the advantages of California's farming lands before the many thousands of visitors from other states who will be in Southern California this winter. State Vice President Everett A. White of the 8th Regional District has received acceptances of prominent California land operators and realtors who will address the meeting. Among the speakers will be State Real Estate Commissioner Edwin T. Kelace, former State Real Estate Commissioner Freeman H. Bloodgood, President J. V. Merdenhall and H. H. Klingemuth, secretary of the California Approved Land Settlement Association President Henry R. Barbour of the California Real Estate Association, Ray Edgar, president of the El Centro Real Estate Board, John E. Kennedy, Farm land operator of the Imperial Valley, A. M. Shenk, realtor of Calicoo, Herman James of Los Angeles, Fred E. Reed of Oakland, Frazier O. Reed of San Jose, and many others have been invited to attend. W. I. Hollingsworth of Los Angeles, chiefman of the irrigation and reclamation committee of the California Recorders is expected to be one of the guests. The Riverside Realty Board and ladies, according to President Frank C. Nye, will arrange to entertain the visiting wives of the delegates. This entertainment will include a trip through the water after a rain; is not injured by oil; and in the absence of a convenient grade, can be constructed with a slight groove down the middle of the thorofare, which makes the valley easy to drain. RENTAL PROPERTY HERE IS GROWING "We are pleased to note," comments C. C. Sidnam of the Sidnam Realty Co., "that the rental situation in this city has been relieved this season to a considerable extent. House rentals on the whole are moderately lower than at any time during the last three years, indicating that the town is more adequately prepared to house the newcomer who wishes to rent instead of purchasing immediately. In the last three years this city has turned away literally hundred, if not thousands, of desirable families who wish to make this city their home, but who were not prepared to purchase, and who were unable to find quarters except at almost prohibitive rentals." "The past year has shown a marked increase in the erection of rental properties. In addition to a number of courts, apartment houses and duplex residences, many thrifty property owners have built small bungalows and apartment structures on the rear of their residence lots, thus making available lower rentals which are so much in demand." Builders will continue their good work in the construction of rentals we can feel more satisfied that rental prices will become stabilized and our daily increasing population will be taken care of properly."

Anderson & Son have purchased a 44-foot frontage on North Los Angeles-set where the Miller paint shop now is located and will erect a one-story real estate office there. J. E.

The rustic shelters and seats now are being placed, and every day sees the big square looking more like a finished park. Completion of the plunge has been delayed by the failure of filters and other materials and equipment to arrive in time, but it should be ready for Anaheim's swimmers within a few weeks, according to the authorities. Bonding Companies' Fee Too High, Keiser State Real Estate Commissioner Edwin T. Keiser has issued a statement in whics he says the bonding companies' fee is too large. He says: "Word has come to me that the bonding companies in defense of the $20 fee charged for a real estate broker's bond state that it is because of the greater hazard in issuing a bond without requiring a financial statement from the applicant, and without making the customary investigation, and that a fee of $10 would have been sufficient had the proper investigation been made." "It seems to me that had the companies followed the latter course, writing bonds only after making the customary investigation, and charged the $10 fee instead of $20, there would have been little criticism upon the part of the real estate brokers, and it would have added materially to carrying out the purposes of the get, and affording greater protection to the public."

The majority of the shareholders voted by proxy, and their votes were unanimous in favor of Mr. M. Fillette of Orange, and Mr. C. R. Harrison of Anaheim, as being elected second and third vice presidents respectively. The Orange-co Home Builders finance corporation has declared dividend at the rate of 9% per annum on all outstanding preferred stock to be paid out of earnings Jan. 15, 1924. This finance company like many others, has shown a remarkable progress in a comparatively short period of time, and its earnings, according to the last statement issued by J. B. Fewkes & Co., chartered public accountants, of Los Angeles, are far in excess of the required dividend. The corporation is an institution organized for the benefit of this county in particular, and for this state in general. It is operated on the principal of a commercial banking institution, and judging by its statement issued Nov. 16, 1923, the remarkable progress that it has shown during its short period of existence speaks well of the men who are managing its affairs. According to A. J. Sherer, the president, the corporation is doing so well that the increase of the number of officers was imperative. The management consists now of A. J. Sherer, Peter Palm, Harry L. Briscoe, M. Eltiste, and C. R. Harrison. PROPOSE NEW "STANDARD" FARM Replying to B.C. Wyse, realty broker of Casmalia, Chairman Frazier O. Reed of the California Real Estate Ass'n. forms committee, has announced that a standard form contract for the sale of real estate is to be issued by the standard forms committee of the association about Jan. 1. It will be submitted to the state real estate department for its scrutiny and approval. Wyse wrote to the association for information on a standard form contract for sale "where the buyer purchases property with a cash payment down and deferred payments; the deed to be passed upon completion of contract when all payments have been made." More than 250,000 of the state association's standard authorizations to sell and deposit receipts have been distributed within the past year in California. So far as known, in every case buyer, seller and broker have been pleased with the results. CENTRAL CALIF.FLOODS MARKETS Orange shipments from So Calif. are much smaller to date than in either 1922 or 1921, but the exact opposite is true of the State as a whole, compilations made public here today show. The navel growing sections of the south are determined apparently not to sell their fruit except at the best prices obtainable, and are holding off. At the same time, as Charles Eygabroad, a director of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, pointed out, prices for Christmas navel oranges at $2.50 per box have been good until recently, even they were 50 cents a box last year's figures. Owing to Central California's big shipments, 5,092 cars of real estate brokers, it would have added materially to carrying out the purposes of the act, and affording greater protection to the public."

Reid of the C. of C. hoped to have Anaheim procure for a month or two. EXTEND GARAGE AREA IN ANAHEIM An amendment to the ordinance determining the territory within which garages may be built now is being prepared and will go to its first reading before city council tomorrow evening. While the only essential change, however, is extending the territory, the entire ordinance is being re-written. The extensions are these: N. Los Angeles st. from Adele to the Elks' clubhouse and the Biltmore apartments, respectively; N. West st., both sides from Center to Diamond; and north side of Lincoln ave., from Center to Carleton. Before Council Tomorrow One-Light, Two-Light Standard Holders The same metal posts will be used for both the one-light and two-light holders, when the new light standards are installed, according to City Manager O. E. Steward, and the present standards in the business section will not be disturbed. The plans and specifications will be laid before city council tomorrow evening. One-light holders will be used in the semi-business part of the new district, and two-light in the other part. The former is N. Los Angeles, to where the present lights begin; S. Los Angeles from Broadway to the city limits; E. Center from Philadelphia to East street; West Bureau of the San Francisco Real Estate Board. Offices for the bureau were formally opened the Hutton-bldg., adjoining the corners of the Real Estate Board. Wherever the multiple listing principle has been attempted it is to have greatly stimulated real estate sales and proven a big factor in community development and expansion. The opening of the San Francisco bureau was attended by a side and representative listing of properties turned in by the membership. A number of sales were reported for the opening days, initiating the practical working under which the bureau is being operated. The multiple listing system for time being restricted to the Richmond, Sunset and West of Pin Peaks districts. The form under which the bureau is operated after that rebounded by the National Assn of Real Estate Boards and in operation in 125 other cities. Membership to the bureau is limited. Real Estate Board nominees are advantages to the property owner, and the buyer are nimble as set forth by the Bureau's leaders. The property of any owner listed on the exclusive contract form the bureau immediately becomes the joint listing of every tenant member, unsealed of the men of one firm being enjoyed in the marketing of the property the owner has the advantage of the combined sales service of all tenants. The bureau offers protection against payment of more than one commission and commands the full taking and support of the real estate board in the matter of ethical practices.

Jergins gave the Long Beach field a taste of former days last week when he brought back City No. 1, a 3000 barrel well. City No. 1 opened the northwest section of the field a year and a half ago with a 4500 barrel well. Twelve hundred feet high put the well into the deep sand and changed it from a small well to which it had dwindled, to a gusher, producing the choice high gravity oil of the famous beach field. Petroleum Midway success at Long Beach has become a matter of common gossip. The company entered the field some time after its competitors had selected their properties and gotten under way. Choosing the northwest section of the hill field the Petroleum Midway has built up a splendid production. The P. M.'s latest success was a 2000 barrel well on the Neeco property. Neeco No. 1 was drilled to 4800 and shows again what the deep snail of Signal Hill is capable of producing. Long Beach production continues to hold up marvelously. The daily output for the past month and a half has hovered around 240,000 barrels, the new wells seem to take care of the decline and keeping the field's output up. Long Beach production is proving something of a surprise in the splendid manner in which it is holding up.
